Name: David B
I collected a few back in my day, then became overly discriminating of artwork and storylines and prices. Nowadays I lament the rapine of my childhood's heroes and collect the occasional graphic novel collection.
Honestly, I await the day we get a decent digital media that will let me read comics at my leisure without having to collect and/or trash hundreds of magazines.
Happy Walking Dead Day!
On Oct 27, 2008 11:30 AMSomeone mentioned this to me a while ago... possibly you, even. So I made the mistake of looking it up on Wikipedia. The recap was mesmerizing, I couldn't hardly wait to read the next paragraph's summary of 4 comic books. I zoomed through it, and as I went, I was continually more and more horrified.

On Oct 20, 2008 11:30 AMA-ha! New article. I was wondering why I wasn't seeing a lot of people writing comments in exactly the style you made mock of. I'll just give it some time, then.

The key was the stains showing up on the dining room table cloth, as I re...

On Oct 6, 2008 11:15 AMYou are an enormous prude. And yet I'm still willing to read whatever you write. I guess I'm just an ignorant and unappreciative bastard. I think your reaction to the dead... items in question... on the covers of comic books is only fitting revenge for every movie maker that ruined my bachelorhood movie-going experiences by having babies. And then immediately starte...

Go to CommentComics and the Future (What There is of It)
On Aug 11, 2008 11:45 AMIs all this comic doomsaying just indications of some silly socio-political theory about how we lack faith in our own future? Or is it just everyone loves them some zombie apocalypse? In any event, I always loved me some Logan's Run-esque candy-coated dystopia: "Hey, look at all these hot 20 year olds! What do you mean how old am I? Why? Life-c...
